He's in his prime right now and i think he would be an awesome fit for the patriots secondary, a boost to our pass defence and a veteren attitude and role model in the secondary. It would boost our overall defence, he may not cost much if we trade Brandon meriweather who is in his contract year, what do you guys think

Tracked it down - it was Andy Strickland, the St. Louis Blues blogger who reported that the Bruins were looking to sign Bill Guerin. Kind of ironic that his blog is called "TrueHockey,com," isn't it? Obviously, as davecarr noted, it's not a "rumor" but a "proposal": Most of the speculation thus far as been about the Boston Bruins trading Tim Thomas, not Tuukka Rask. But TrueHockey.com's Andy Strickland writes, "Boston is seeking a puck moving D-man and the re-emergence of goaltender Tim Thomas has given GM Peter Chiarelli some options to play with. If you're Boston would you hang onto Rask who obviously can't help you in the playoffs if he's sitting on the bench?" Now, it's probably unlikely they deal Rask, mostly because he's clearly their goalie of the future. However, if a puck-moving blueliner becomes available on the trade market, Rask could be a valuable trade chip and the Bruins might be willing to make that swap, especially give the rarity of puck-movers. That said, it makes a lot more sense to trade Thomas because the veteran stopper carries a $5 million cap hit until 2013. Getting rid of that cap number would provide much-needed flexibility for the B's. As I said before, "Rumor Central" doesn't differentiate among rumors, speculation, or pure baloney. They print EVERYTHING. (and guys like Murphy pick it all up and publicize it as fact, but that's another story).Posted by duinne

Glad to see you back.Regardless of the way some of us snipe at one another,I've always enjoyed reading your stuff.Hope all is well.

Pretty good safety, although it remains to be seen if he would be good here. I wouldnt compare the Rams 4-3 defense to the 3-4 of the Pats.

Other thing is safety is probably the most set position even not including Meriweather who I dont believe will be traded as some others here believe.

We rarely trade away players like Brandon. His money is reasonable, and he will most likely play out his contract next year and move on without much of a comotion. I think they already know he is gonna want money after making 2 pro bowls, but problem is he isnt worth the money, IMO

They will do what they wish. Not even going to attempt to speculate. The team we fielded last year, plus the experience they got, plus some returning off IR guys, plus a few good draft picks, will be fine.
